Can anyone recommend a decent priced but fast SSD, I am looking at getting two for Raid and want 80 - 120 gig ish sizes?

I was looking at the OCZ Agility 3. I don't know what the deal is with them, they're about £100 for a 60GB one, but they have one of the best read/write speeds I've seen for a <£100 SSD.

OCZ 60GB Agility 3 SSD - SATA-III - Read 525MB/s W...

I'm waiting for someone to say they're crap as they seem too good to be true. I'm unsure of how different they are to the Vertex 3 (that everyone's raving about), but I don know they both use the same Sandforce.

Scratch that, Freedom's looks better for the money...

I'm so happy i didn't like the look of the person in your avatar... :laugh:

(hint:its a dude to all those who haven't yet noticed that)

OCZ Solid 3: 20,000 IOPS
OCZ Agility 3: 50,000
OCZ Vertex 3: 60,000

I'd go for the Agility 3, pending a look at the Corsair F-series.

I've been waiting to get an SSD, so I need this discussion :laugh:

Over in Japan, theres many people in bands that dress like that. Its a fashion otherwise known as Visual Kei

Just like goths like to dress in black etc etc.

I didn't know Rise Against had the same song name as Rage Against The Machine :rolleyes:

EDIT: You must need to be Otaku or from that culture because i look at Cosplay and i dont know i just dont get it then again im from Scotland so no surprise there.

Am I right in thinking you'll lose TRIM if you do that?

This was an interesting read.

HUZZARH!

I managed to resurrect my GF's rig.

In the process though, the DVI port on my Viewsonic has decided to stop working. After googling et al, I've discovered that I'm not the only one. It's a very common issue. Guess I'm lucky to have had the monitor working flawlessly for 8 years now.

I have a few things to try; one is to modifiy the DVI's EDID but that's a major freakin' ball ache, another is to use a Dell utility that does all that for me. Apparently it's worked for some so I'm gunna give that a shot in the mouth. If all else fails, I guess VGA to DVI will have to do.

8 years, now that is a good investment!

same thing happend to me with an old Iiyama Prolite screen. one day the DVi port just decided to stop working. googling the problem turned up a few hits. but no one had a solution to the problem so I deep six'd it and bought a samsung monitor which i had for about a year before the back light on it died and then i upgraded to this NEC i have now which has been working solidly for the last 2 years.

Its crazy when you think about how long youve kept some hardware going.

My parent's Dell screen is still working, and its almost 6 years old already. I think screens last the longest of all the parts out there, maybe except for cases.

@Freedom is that a PG Strike Freedom head?
